Lets go over it;)

When you click the http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7178/linkuc9.gif button on your bar there, you get this > [URL]your url[/URL]

Step one:
Lets get us an example link, were gonna use the link for the general help forum: http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showforum=34
Now in order to make it a text only hotlink, you take the first URL Tag ([URL]), and change it to [URL=http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showforum=34]

Step two:
Now that we have that done, lets go over putting in the designated text
[URL=http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showforum=34] General Help Forum!

Step three:
Then when youre finished, just add the [/URL] at the end of it, and it will be complete and form this General Help Forum!

Then the words + picture will be clickable. if you wanted to have it where the words were NOT clickable, simply add whatever text, outside the Url tags. like this:
words here or here
(it would show up in front of or at the end of the picture, not on top or bottom. I simply cant post more than 3 images )
